The behavior mentioned is the default using IEEEtran.bst style. To change it, you can define a IEEEtranBSTCTL entry in your bib database and change the default value for CTLdash_repeated_names. So, in this case, your entry should look like this:

+1, but I think that both your and my method may have merit.

@lockstep: I don't think so. To define a small bibsetup.bib (maybe with filecontents) is much easier and more comfortable for the user as the manipulation of the bst-file.

Okay, so I put this right at the top of my .bib file, trashed all auxiliary files, ran pdflatex, bibtex, pdflatex twice, and it's still there? I'm not particularly worried about it if it's normal, but it would be nice to know how to get rid of it.

@Marco: See slhck's comment for an example how "much easier and more comfortable for the user" it is.

@slhck: please post a minimal example showing the problem. I did some tests before posting my answer and everything worked as expected.

In this case there's really no need to edit a copy of the .bst file; see my answer.

I was using the IEEEtranBST.zip from the paperplaza website. I had the same problem and I only opened the IEEEtran.bst and changed the #1 to #0 for the default.is.dash.repeated.names and it solved the problem.
